Question
What are some effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis should be treated by identifying the cause and addressing the symptoms accordingly. If a child exhibits symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and swollen tonsils, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Diagnosis can be made through blood tests and other methods to determine the cause. For viral infections, antiviral medications should be used; for bacterial infections, antibiotics are recommended. If tonsillitis occurs frequently, more than five times a year, it is advisable to consult an otolaryngologist and consider surgical removal of the tonsils.
